The Wayward Bus / Distant Plastic Trees

~ Release by The Magnetic Fields (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Unfortunately, the presentation order (front and back cover) on this release does not reflect the original album release order but the track order does. Because of its length (4:33), some think the silent track is cover of 4′33″ by John Cage
